N disclose the details of the scheme in
onestiCn. "Gur pIan?" he said yester-
day, "Ours is not to sci, at wholesale to
retail butchers, as seems to be the
general imU-ession. We desire to bring
6ur stock direct to the consumer. Our
company is to be merged into another
very large syndicate, and having
abundant capital we propose to buy up
every retail butcher store in this
city, either for cash or stock.
If our negotiations are not
successful, why, we can open 300 or 400
independent retail shops. We first
desire to give every retail butcher a
chance to dispose of is business. The
city slsughterer cannot compete with
us.n
A. E. Fowler, the Kansas City Com
pany'S western manager who was
present during the interview, said that
any possible opposition from the
Chicago dressed beef company was not
considered at present.
Interviews with leading wholesale
butchers are given. They are generally
of the opinion that the plan won
work. They Say that it will take abou
$50 900 600 to begin with, to buy all tn
retail stores; that this, however, vii
not give the company the trade, as it
meat is not equal in quality TO the cit,
dressed, and that opposition shops vii
spring up all around those of tn
syndicate. The managers here O
Chicago dressed beef houses do no
think much of the scheme.
